Best Bath Houses in Elmwood

"We’re all so pushed and pulled from every side each day to ‘do,’ we forget the power of simply ‘Be-ing’” Such is the philosophy behind Belladonna Day Spa, an Uptown urban oasis where the services are focused on “being” rather than “doing.” Take the “Be Youthful” replenishing facial, for example, or the “Be Detoxed” seaweed treatment—better than any hair of the dog after a night out on Bourbon Street. Visitors will gravitate toward the “Be Bamboozled” body ritual, which incorporates herbal aromatherapy products designed to stave off travel tension. The hour-long treatment starts with a body scrub and green tea-milk bath, and culminates in a full-body massage."
